I find that the Conservapedia talk pages are often more entertaining and informative than the articles themselves.

Intriguingly he also calculates that due to the rate at which the expansion was said to have slowed according to the big bang theory each significant eras according to the time scale of evolutionists correspond to six individual twenty-four hour days corresponding to the days of creation.

It might just be me, but isn't that sentence entirely gibberish.

An ancient Russian proverb says: "when money speaks, the truth keeps silent."
<-- A nice premise that aims to condition the mind of the reader to believe that there was foul play involved.

The article itself was written well.

That's a pretty good proverb. Pretty sure there's none much wealthier than the Vatican.
Which other organisation could get away with mass child molestation, nunnery rape, and questionable ties with the REAL Italian Mafia without so much as a police investigation?

The Big Bang model has been "on the brink of collapse" since at least it's formulation. I would imagine apologetics press would have been jumping all over a particle conceived (or as they would say "invented") in 1930 to "fill a gap" in a scientific theory. Especially as this particle wouldn't be detected for 26 years.
There are always gaps in prominent scientific theories, bits of it are wrong or inaccurate. Yes, the idea of "dark matter" is as yet unverified but the proposed ratio of normal matter to dark has been predicted fairly closely from two different fields, cosmology and astrophysics. We may be years off detection, but these theories produce quantitative predictions, we may not have the equipment yet to test them, but when we do the theory will say "it should be there" and if we don't detect it , that's when we're in trouble. When scientists start trying to explain why this particle continues to evade detection, that's when we start heading for real trouble.
